Condition
The work appears to be fixed to its frame. The paper is not fully laid down and is undulating slightly, as is consistent with the nature of this material. There are various paper losses and tears, particularly to the edges of the work, which appears to be the artist's intent. There are approximately 4 puncture marks to all four framing edges of the work where the work has previously been fixed to the wall or another surface. There are several horizontal and vertical creases running throughout the work which are indicative of the cardboard material having been previously folded. Overall, the work appears to be in very good original condition.
